Along the heights of Leucate
Far from the hustle and bustle of Port Leucate, there is a magnificent place where peace reigns. The cliffs of Leucate. They link Leucate Village to La Franqui and this short walkk will let you discover their different features: cliffs, vineyards and pastures for sheep.
Refuge des Bans
This hike is easy, with only a few short sections requiring a little more attention. Easy to access, the Bans refuge has the feel of a high mountain refuge. The climb along the Bans torrent is gradual. After a small rocky outcrop on which the refuge is perched, the reward is there! The view is unique, overlooking a cirque enclosed by magnificent peaks.
And what can we say about the kindness of the refuge wardens, who will serve you meals and drinks?
On the heights of Pavie
This walk in the hills above Pavie, a charming little village near Auch, will allow you to discover the Gers countryside and, on a clear day, enjoy a superb view of the Pyrenees.
The hermitage of Saint-Ferreol from Saint-Privat-de-Champclos
Discover an old hermitage on the banks of the Céze where you can swim. As a bonus, you will pass by the Château de Fereyrolles.
The Gisquet tower and Montalet castle from Saint-Ambroix
Starting from Saint-Ambroix, a pretty village in the Gard, set off to explore the Gisquet tower and the ruins of the medieval Château de Montalet. A beautiful hike through holm oak woods and chestnut groves.
Mont Bouquet from Seynes
A beautiful hike on and around Mont Bouquet. Magnificent views throughout the varied route.
The route is very well signposted (yellow markings) until you reach Le Castellas, after which the signposting is a little less frequent.
The rocks and archaeological site of Carabasse at the start of Bessas
An easy hike to discover the landscapes of the Ardèche and Gard regions at the Carabasse rocks and, a little further on, the archaeological remains.
Portes Castle and Peyrerol Tower, or the mining history of the Cévennes
The Château de Portes is nicknamed the "ship of the Cévennes" as it overlooked the old Regordane Way, which pilgrims and crusaders used on their way to the Holy Land.
Through the woods, this hike will introduce you to another, more recent past of the Cévennes: the mines, with the discovery of the Peyrerol tower and its inclined plane.
09/10/2023 Moderator's message: the route has been modified and shortened to avoid private sections between (3) and Le Tour.
Between sea and heath, starting from La Palme
You’ll experience a variety of atmospheres on this walk: the old village of La Palme, the heath on the plateaus, the industrial port of Port-la-Nouvelle, the beaches and finally the salt marshes.
Short and easy, this walk—despite a few sections on the road—will allow you to discover other landscapes in this region.
Circular loop at Saint-Victor-de-Malcap
From the Château de Saint-Victor-de-Malcap to the banks of the Cèze, this walk through the fields and small villages of the Gard is an easy one.
The only downside is that there are many tarmac or gravel sections. On the plus side:
- firstly, this walk remains accessible even after rain
- and secondly, these small roads leading to farmhouses have almost no traffic.
From the Cèze to the Lerou lake
Starting from Saint-Victor-de-Malcap, this hike consists of two circular loops: the first to the Moulin du Roc Tombé on the banks of the Cèze and the second on the shores of the Lerou lake.
Beautiful passages through a forest of fir and pine trees.
From Chams en Hameaux via the Col de Peras
Les Chams de Bonneveau, Cassenade and Malbosquet, and the hamlets of Malbosquet and Les Escoussous as seen from the Col de Peras. Beautiful views of the Cévennes, the Alps, Mont Ventoux, the Tanargue Massif and, closer by, the Berrias Plain. Varied terrain on this fairly demanding hike.
Around Berrias-et-Casteljau
A hike to discover the banks of the Chassezac, the villages of Berrias and Casteljau, Ardèche hamlets with, as a bonus, a passage through the Bois de Païolive and a view of the Gorges du Chassezac.
At the start, when you walk along the Chassezac and in the Bois de Païolive, there are many paths. A GPS may be useful.
